HOMEOWNERS HAVE MONEY TO SPEND
Homeowners, especially those who have recently moved or plan on relocating in the near future, spend a great deal of money. In fact, data from Epsilon’s New Mover Report showed that moving families spend an average of $9,000 every time they change residences. They are also more likely to consider trying new brands and company services, unlike many stationary, loyal consumers. With recent and soon-to-be moving families spending this amount of money, it is clear that they are in the market for new consumer goods, different service providers, and upgrades on products they already have.
Buying Potential + Empty House = Great Prospect
A home purchase represents an important life event. Buying habits are predictable and expected as new homeowners spend far more within the first 2 years of home ownership than the average consumer. From household furnishings, landscaping, and repair to financial products and entertainment, new homeowners represent a strong buying population segment. http://www.bbdirect.com/postal-direct-mail-data-consumer/new-homeowners-mailing-list
DID YOU KNOW THAT NEW HOMEOWNERS SPEND UP TO 10 TIMES AS MUCH AS AVERAGE CONSUMERS OVER THE FIRST 2 YEARS OF HOME OWNERSHIP? The best time to connect with these individuals is immediately after they buy their home. Ideal for: Landscaping, furniture, or home improvement companies. http://www.melissa.com/mailing-lists/new-homeowner-list.html
NEW HOMEOWNERS The first six months of a new homeowner’s life is filled with tons of home-related purchases. They will typically spend over 3 times as much money during those first few months than they will over the next 2 years combined. Their immediate set of needs range from patio furniture to kitchen appliances, from gardening supplies to window shades…but it doesn’t stop there. Everyone new to an area needs a new dentist, bank, restaurant, insurance agent, and more! This opportunity to lock in fresh, loyal customers should not be missed so ensure your marketing success. http://www.usdatacorporation.com/new_homeowners.php
